In the weeks leading up to Christmas we like to include local artisans at the market to give you and them an opportunity to support our local growers and makers. So this week we are welcoming the following artisan:
- Emu Beads – delightful created glass beads served to you free range or made into beautiful pendants or chains of beads or earrings with Michele’s silversmithing skills adding an extra special touch of flare to each creation.

- Lelayna Beverley Artist is a young local artist to watch closely. She says that “my style of painting is known as acrylic flow. It is colourful, creative and unique. As long as I can remember I have been a creative artistic individual and I would love to be able to generate a living from my work. Mostly I like creating functional pieces of art and I love that with a functional piece it has purpose. I also specialise in ink and mixed media art as well as resin work.” So check out her range this week that includes resin and timber platters plus bold and vibrant cards and coasters.

Artist and story writer Chris Degenhardt brings his Colours and Words to the market again this year. Chris said that “over the years I’ve worked in diverse styles: pointillism, fractal abstract, stereoscopic imagery. This is reflected in my cards and prints. Most of my work depicts elements of the Tweed Valley’s flora and fauna”.
